Ingredients

4 oz salmon, sashimi-grade aka sushi-grade, see notes
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
½ tablespoon chopped marinated green olives
½ tablespoon chopped red onions
½ tablespoon fresh mint
½ tablespoon fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste
½ tablespoon toasted pine nuts to garnish

Instructions

Begin by placing the salmon fillet in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes to firm it up for easier slicing.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, chopped mint leaves, parsley, olives, and red onion, and lemon zest. Season the marinade with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the salmon from the freezer and thinly slice it with a sharp knife. Arrange the slices on a serving platter.
Drizzle the marinade over the salmon slices, ensuring that each slice is well coated. Place the salmon crudo in the fridge and allow to marinate for about 5 minutes to enhance the taste. Enjoy it immediately.

Notes

RAW SALMON: Salmon should be purchased with a label that states "sushi-grade" or "sashimi-grade" to ensure top quality and safety for raw consumption.

EAT IT IMMEDIATELY AFTER POURING THE DRESSING. The citrus will cook the salmon quickly. After chilling the salmon crudo for 5 minutes, enjoy it right away.
